PSA: Audiobooks! Partners in Necessity! Shopping!

AsyouknowBob, some time back Buzzy Multimedia contracted for the audiobook rights to Local Custom, and were fortunately able to impose upon Michael Shanks of Stargate fame to read the novel. The audiobook is now available through SRM Publisher in two! exciting! flavors -- an 8-disk CD set OR a a single-disk MP3.

And? SRM is offering both sets at a significant discount from retail. Sweet, huh? You owe it to yourself to check these out.

While you're over at the SRM catalog check out the other featured books, including! Partners in Necessity. Yep, Steve did find another case or two when he moved the stuff out of the basement. We thought there were more...

Certificate of Destruction and Other Strange Pleasures

So the guy from Shredding On Site came by this morning and converted All Those Job Applications into My Weight in Confetti (no, really), ending the festivities by issuing me a Certificate of Destruction. I'm so proud.

Meanwhile, Amazon says that Longeye will be in stock on April 3, but! there's already a reader review on the page. I wonder what's up with that?

It took a couple of phone calls to establish without prejudice that the vampires are open for bidness between the hours of 7 and 7 (or, as the young lady who answered the phone at the lab asserted, "From Seven-Ay to Seven-Pee.") -- which is useful information to have, since I need to pay them a visit some morning this week.

The minor program tried to resume batshit mode this morning, but I think -- I hope to ghod -- I managed to head it off at the pass.

Excepting that one minor start, the first day after Spring break has been notable for its calmness. May this be a harbinger.
